The Ultimate Travel Bucket List
Photo by Kivanc Nis/Flicker CC
Really, I just want to go everywhere and anywhere. One of my favorite quotes is, “I want to leave everywhere I go even though I know there is nowhere better.” But at the start of this year, I thought I’d make my travel bucket list, and narrow it down to some of the top destinations that I want to travel to, so I can start planning. I hope that my travel bucket list inspires you to go somewhere new.
My travel bucket list:

1. Walk the hills of Ireland
I am pretty sure that I am part fairy, and something tells me that I will fit right in there. I love to hike, and I can’t imagine better hiking then in Ireland.

2. Itacoatiara beach in Brazil
This beach is off the beaten tourist path and looks beautiful. I have a desire to see the hidden Brazil that most tourists don’t visit.

3. The hammans (baths) and spice markets of Morocco
When I think of Morocco, I think of the exotic, the unexplored. I imagine the smells, the colors, and everything that appeals to the senses. When I first read of the ritual of the hamman, I knew this was something I had to experience. I also love spices and can’t wait to explore the markets.

4. The Galapagos Islands
I love nature and wildlife, and I can’t think of a better way to experience the two in the same place. I also can’t think of a better place to snorkel and experience the multi-colored beaches. My biggest dream is to visit the Galapagos Islands by sailboat. It’s a long and potentially hazardous trip so make sure to stock up on some quality life jackets from a decent yacht chandlers then off you go!

5. See the Northern Lights from Iceland
I can’t even imagine the awe that I would feel getting to see the Northern Lights in person. I’m not a fan of the cold, but with all the hot springs that Iceland has to warm you up, I think I would actually enjoy being there.

Great list Val! Several of these are on my bucket list too. I’ve seen the Northern Lights in Iceland and it’s STILL on my bucket list!

Northern Lights is in my list too, along with Anghor Wat and Niagara Falls. Luckily, I have been to my share of hamams in various countries. They are a great way of relaxing. You should get a proper clean and massage if they offer this service. I walked in Ireland and Scotland as well. Those hills are beautiful with heather. Remember to wear waterproof overalls if you ever make it because those are wet countries.
I am going to Ireland and Scotland in May! So, thanks for the waterfproof overalls tip!
